I've had mine for 19 years (5th one). Never leave home without it. Talked my wife into getting hers 8 years ago when she opened her business & figured I would not be around to protect her. Now she shoots better than I do & is always shooting my .45 acps!

**ADVISE** Do not get your CCW just to have it. Committ to a minimum amount of range time per month to stay proficcient in the event that you would ever need to use deadly force. Try to find a self defence, NRA first steps course that is classroom & range time. Usually firing ranges or clubs have them available.

got mine after being in this state for 6 months... in the span of 3 months 7 police officers were shot, 6 died.....so to feel safer I applied for and received mine in 10 days. Been carrying ever since and dont feel much worry when Im traveling around.

I love having mine. I dont know why I never tried to get one earlier. Now if I can remember to renew it before it goes out I wont have to retake the class again. Trying to talk to the wife about getting her one.

Bought 2- four year permits first, but now I have my LIFETIME. Well worth the money. So glad I live in a state with a lifetime CCW permit. My son has his LIFETIME also, wife and mother have their 4 year permits hopefully getting my wife a LIFETIME permit next.
